BEAITIES and ROSES 



We are just on with a fine crop of Beauties for Easter; a big 

 lot of the popular medium stems, cut from plants handled specially 

 for a spring and summer ctop. Also a fine cut of Killarney, 

 White Killarney and Ricimiond*

kome of the bride's parents, Mr. and 

 Mrs. Sam Pearce, on Clybourn avenue, 

 Wednesday, April 17. Mr. Tegelmaar, 

 who is the American representative of 

 Speelman & Sons, bulb growers at Sas- 

 senheim, Holland, arrived April 1 from 

 Hoboken, where he makes his headquar- 

 ters. With his bride he will sail from 

 New York May 7 for a summer in 

 Europe. 



P. J. Foley, J. C. Vaughan and M. 

 Barker were the principal speakers 

 March 28 at the annual banquet of the 

 Tri-City Florists' Association at Daven- 

 port, la. 



W. O. Johnson, who is connected 

 with the shipping department of A. L. 

 Vaughan & Co., met with an accident 

 last week when he fell down the ele- 

 vator shaft. While loading the lift 

 someone on one of the upper floors 

 pulled the elevator up and Johnson, 

 not knowing, walked into the open 

 shaft, falling to the basement from the 

 main floor. No bones were reported 

 ; fractured, but he has not been able to 

 ' resume his work. Will Timme has re- 

 turned to the services of A. L. Vaughan 

 & Co. 



Window display is one of the big 

 factors of the retail end of George 

 Walther's business at 435 West Sixty- 

 third street. His display greenhouse, 

 with seventy-five feet frontage on 

 Sixty-third street, is probably as at- 

 tractive as any in the city this week. 

 Fully 1,000 Easter lilies are exposed 

 to view, tastefully banked back of as-, 

 sorted colors of smaller potted plants. 

 A passer-by can hardly r^ist^t^fi spec- 

 tacular arrangements. Hc'TW^ct com- 

 plains of lack of buBinefi^. . 



Anton Then, treawrep- of the Chi- 

 cago Flower Growers' Association, has

 oysters cannot be excelled.

Eric Arlt, 3653 Dickens avenue, l^ts" 

 a big lot of tulips and other bulb

 to come up to expectations.
